Former President Donald Trump dodged questions about accepting election results multiple times during the debate Thursday night.

When the former president was pressed a third time on whether he would accept the 2024 election results, he said he would only accept the results if the election is “fair and legal and [a] good election.”

President Biden criticized Mr. Trump for continuing “to promote this lie about” the 2020 election being stolen.

He shot back that he doubts Mr. Trump will accept the results because he’s a “whiner.”

“You can’t stand the loss, something snapped in you when you lost the last time,” Mr. Biden said.

Mr. Trump currently faces two criminal cases, one in Georgia where the debate was held, and another in Washington, over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
